SPONSORING A CHILD (website)
Step 1: Choose the child you would like to sponsor on our website and set up your payments. www.sohwo.org (make sure the payments are set up as recurring)
Step 2: Enter into the Relationship! Feel free to write to your sponsored child. I can’t tell you how the children’s faces light up when they receive their very own mail from their sponsor – and they do love to write back!
Communications can be mailed to:
Proyecto Santiago de Latinoamérica Sponsorship Program Finca Yalú Monjas, Jalapa Guatemala 21006
A good rule of thumb regarding mail is to keep it to envelopes, largest of which being 10”x13”. Pictures, stickers and other Wlat items are welcome. Please be advised that mail takes 4 to 6 weeks to arrive.
Thank you again for your interest in sponsorship! May the Lord richly bless you!

A good rule of thumb regarding mail is to keep it to envelopes, largest of which being 10”x13”. Pictures and other Wlat items are welcome. Anything larger than that WILL be intercepted in customs and will cost us money to import into the country and be held up for additional time. Please be advised that mail takes 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. You will also receive periodic cards and letters from your sponsored child! Feel free to communicate with our
Sponsorship Coordinator at anytime regarding any questions you have at any time.
Visits: Should you come to visit, we would love to accommodate special time with your sponsored child.
What does my Sponsorship cover? Sponsorship funds cover the overall expenses of the children that are in each home. These sponsorships cover a percentage of the costs of education (teachers, uniforms, school books, supplies, special activities, etc.), house parents, substitutes, food, clothing, dental/medical/optical/psychological care, administration, utilities, vehicles, gas, insurances, etc. The list is endless!Our program allows for each child to have 8 sponsors. We never neglect a child because their sponsorships are not Willed, so please know that your sponsorship funds help all the children, but your love, prayers and relationship are with your sponsored child. Only you as a sponsor are able to correspond with your child and only you as a sponsor are able to have one on one translated time with your child when you come to visit.Sponsorship is a meaningful way for YOU to partner with US in helping run the home and provide for all their needs!
How will I know if my package/card is received? Our Sponsorship Coordinator will notify you when the card/package arrives. You are also welcome to send an email letting her know that you are sending something, and we will be on the lookout for it!
